Grasp the chance to leave behind what’s bad, and embrace what’s new and good; and that includes an overhaul on the home front.

For décor lovers wanting to begin decorating, here’s 10 of the top home design trends that New Evolution predicts are going to be loved this year.

#1 Invite Nature Inside

Unlike the tech-obsessed designs of 2018, this year we’ll see a shift towards fresh, natural materials inside the home. Stone, copper, concrete and granite are all great materials to enhance the organic vibe and ambiance in any space.

#2 Velvet

From the catwalk to your living room, velvet is making a comeback. Believe it or not – velvet was once seen as old fashioned, but is now viewed as luxurious yet funky. This multi-dimensional fabric is getting a lot of attention for 2019, and is set to become the year’s most sought-after trend.

#3 Millennial Pink

With “Living Coral” having been voted as Pantone’s new Colour of the Year for 2019, expect to see hues of pinks – everywhere. Including “Millennial Pink”; a popular colour in 2018, this trendy hue continues to gain a lot of attention and you should expect to see a lot more of it this year. It’s trendy, creative and unique – and an easy way to update any space.

#4 Bold, Black Bathrooms

This spa-inspired trend is the perfect way to add an air of sophistication to your home’s bathroom. It’s all about bold, dark, sultry bathroom designs that help to evoke an indulgent, high-end experience that even your guests will enjoy.

#5 Four Poster / Canopy Beds

Offering the ultimate comforting oasis, a four-poster bed creates a space that brings a sense of comfort and safety. Plus, it’s the closest thing you’ll find to getting a hug from a piece of your furniture.

#6 Patterned Backsplashes

The simple, monochromatic kitchen has had a good run – but now it’s time for your kitchen to have more of an impact. Incorporate bolder colours or graphic tiles into your central space and enjoy an extra pop and punch at home!

#7 Floral Fabrics and Wallpapers

Whether abstracted or straight up chintz, floral patterns will be the go-to trend for wallpaper this year. It’s a trend that has been around for a while now, but for 2019 expect to see it in a new light – including exaggerated proportions and contrasting colours.

#8 Sustainable, Handmade Pieces

Expect to see more items made of jute, rice paper and even clay in 2019. These grounding elements in the home is a great way to feel more in touch with the earth.

#9 Agate Wallpaper

This wallpaper design is making a splash for its pops of colours, and its natural ununiformed lines and colours perfectly marry the bold and natural trends we’ll see this year.

#10 Rugs as Wall Art

This is a new trend that’s sweeping the design world this year – with IKEA even getting in on the action. Hanging your rug as wall art has helped this staple decorating item become a part of the decorative arts within a design scheme – bonus points for abstract and artistic designs.
